Log House

Hungry? So were we. We had passed this place a few times on our way to fish the Farmington, and finally decided to stop. SO glad we did.

Classic American food. We loved that it felt like we stepped back in time when we walked through the front door. The menu for lunch had so many great options that we were excited to eat there as soon as we read it. The cheese pull on the mozzarella sticks was epic. My mozz stick loving fiancé was so stoked. He said the burger was amazing, also.

I got the beer battered fish sandwich, which was fried to astonishing perfection. The crunch was still there even when I spread tartar sauce on it. Their French onion soup was delightful, as well. I love picking the cheese off of the crock, and it was just the right amount.

This is our new favorite spot to eat when we go fishing. Love finding places like this!

Loved this place. Classic family owned business in Connecticut with great tasting food and friendly staff. Kinda smells like your grandma's house since the building is a bit older, and the decor is more aligned with the wood paneled 70s country house. 10/10 place to stop coming back from Bradley Airport or a trip through town. 3/5 atmosphere only because it's literally like eating at your grandma's and some people may or may not like that. For me it's a 5/5 for everything

Truly a Gem. Stopped for lunch and was pleasantly surprised. Great food, friendly staff, reasonable prices. When in area will definitely stop again. Very kid friendly.

It is a nice homely dining experience. My kid and husband loved their steak 😍 and I loved their corned beef with two eggs pepper and onion with cheese. And sides were also very fresh.

My wife and I have been visiting The Log House for a year now when we camp up in the area. We love the atmosphere and the food is great! The portions are just right and the gravy and biscuits are the best. Usually it's seat yourself so we say in the big bright room on the right. They have a buffet for special days like Father's day. Make a day of it if your headed out near Barkhamsted, stop for breakfast and visit the little town of Riverton! Enjoy life!

Did I step back in time going here....Fast, Fresh, comfort food at a reasonable price. Great selection, easy to read menue, daily specials, friendly staff, large tables and the warmth of the environment decorated in wood had us hanging out longer and enjoying the conversation with friends.

This was my first time visiting the Log House that I've heard so much about. The drive to get there was absolutely enjoyable and lovely. The friends we went with are regulars there and the fun banter between the staff and our friends was really nice. It's been a long time since I've been to a restaurant that's so personable the way dining used to be. The environment was clean and rustic at the same time. A blast from the past with the comforts of the present. Good old American comfort food that is just exactly what you need sometimes. Made me think of my paternal grandma's mashed potatoes and gravy on a Sunday evening. The staff was great! I got a pic of the old phone both outside for my kids who have no idea what that is. What a fun experience!

A cool find on a wandering road trip. The food and the atmosphere were great, and the service was excellent. The burger was just what you'd expect from a place like this: juicy, flavorful, and makes your keep eating even when you think you're gonna pop!

Big portions, fair prices!! Recommend! We had the 10 people and they got all the food out fast

They have great dinner coffee and comfort foods. Their menu is extensive. Our wait person seemed like she knew the menu well.

If your looking for a good home cooked meal this is your place.

Lots of locals and friendly faces.

Great little place for breakfast. French toast, bacon, home fries were delicious

Stopped in for lunch since I was close by, the food was phenomenal!! Came out so quickly and was delicious I will ABSOLUTLEY make my way back here!

Great spot for lunch in one of the most scenic spots in Northwest Connecticut. Freshly prepared comfort food with super nice wait staff. Very reasonable prices, comfortable dining rooms, make it a stop for breakfast, lunch or dinner if you're in the area.

Good food, attentive service. Traditional American comfort food: meatloaf, pasta, etc. Good solid meals, although small side salads. I had chicken parmesan with linguini, my wife fettuccine Alfredo with grilled chicken: hers was enough for two meals; I guess I was hungry.

Great fried clams, just like Maine! Service food top notch!

I love going to the Log House. Food is very good, service is good, plenty of parking available and prices are good. One of my stops for sure.

Love their breakfasts. Great service

Friendly and welcoming like being at home with family. Good food and good prices. They've had to down size to just doing breakfast, do to lack of staff, I pray one day soon they could go back to serving dinner.

the food is so good, and the prices are affordable, not expensive at all, good service, good atmosphere. I always take my guests to have breakfast there, I get many compliments. Try it!

8/23 - The special burger with bacon, cheddar and garlic aioli was incredibly juicy and delicious. The med rare roast beef grinder is like no other. Crunchy onion rings.

11/2022 - If I had one basic restaurant to patronize this would be it. Everything always satisfies. The chicken wings are great now. NOTE: The Log House no longer has dinner service but the menu still has all the favorites. Hours: 7:30AM - 3:00PM daily.
#
1/22 -The Classic and Buffalo chicken sandwiches burst with flavor, fine ingredients and true perfection. Great French toast. Fine fried seafood platter and cod sandwich, too.
#
Loved the special burger with garlic aioli, bacon, cheddar, onions, lettuce & tomato, curly fries & pickles the other day. Awesome.
#
Dreamy beef patty melt the other day. The chicken parmesan grinder was really tasty as well as both rodeo burgers with hot crispy onion rings.
#
Had a craving for their rare roast beef grinder today. The lunch special hot prime rib sandwich with beef au jus was incredible.
#
Enjoyed their delicious blueberry pancakes again with grilled sausage links and coffee.
#
Loved lunch yesterday: Grilled pot roast sandwich with cheese and sautéed onions on rye, and a well-done Rodeo burger with fried onion, cheddar, bacon & BBQ sauce. Scrumptious.
#
More good food at the Log House: Beef stew & fried clam strips.
#
Another fine meal Labor Day, now open with social distancing. Lemonade and blue orange martinis with fried calamari - hot, crunchy and tender. Two grinders: cold rare roast beef with provolone and toasted meatball with mozzarella, peppers and onions. Both big enough to take half home.

We've ordered takeout here twice since restaurants closed indoor dining with COVID restrictions. Eating here for years, we're familiar with their food. Like most eateries, they have a current takeout menu and many specials each evening. Their food is always reliably good. Delicious breakfast food and fresh fish to surmise.

In April, we ordered lobster bisque (so wonderful you think you're eating lobster), a Rueben, hot tuna grinder, fish & chips and penne with meat & cheese. The penne was not on the current menu but longtime chef Gary said he'd make it for us. He's a real nice guy and the son of the founders, Joseph and Mary Dileo.

The penne was the best meal of the four. The Reuben was described as okay. The tuna seemed to have a change in its flavor. The fish and chips were a thumbs up on the fish - moist, crunchy haddock, a good portion size, but the fries seemed to taste like fish, as if fried in the same oil. Maybe during this time, they were short on supplies or didn't know when they would be replenished? A cup of chili that came with the fish was tasty.

Our bill was $15. to $20. dollars over what it should have been looking at the receipt, as we used a current menu at home. Last night I mentioned this and was told, "someone might have made a mistake." Apparently.

A hot open turkey sandwich, Shepherd's pie, whole belly clams and a BBQ combo of chicken and ribs with baked potato and choice of vegetables were all pleasing. The Shepherd's pie came with soup or salad and the chicken with rice soup was pleasantly noted. Feedback on the hot open sandwich was positive as it was real turkey. They roast and grind their own meats.

Two specials were equally satisfying, especially the whole belly clams. Fried in a light batter, tender, with lemon and tartar sauce accompaniments. The portion was large enough to share.
The BBQ dish, newer for their menu, had a nice sweet sauce, good portion of a chicken breast with wing and three double ribs: flavorful but a little dry. The baked potato was perfect.

Two vegetable sides were left out of our order. When I called they said they'd replace them. Living nearby we drove back before they closed. We opened the fries in the car and took a bite. Just as they should be. Crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside.

Great place to eat. We hope it will remain open for as long as possible. Stop by!
